Lightner, a high school senior and a registered Republican, gave his vote to Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

"I know he's trailing, but I support him to the end," Lightner said, adding his goal is to keep Republican Donald Trump from getting as many delegates that he can.

The presidential race was the big draw for Becker and Lightner, and both said they did their homework on all the candidates before voting. However, both admitted they should have looked into the down-ballot races more than they did.

But the pair said they won't let their differing politics get in the way of their friendship.

Becker and Lightner made their way through a gauntlet of candidate supporters who were handing out campaign literature as they entered the Dover Township Community Building to cast their ballots.

"It's nice that people are involved in the community and come out," Becker said.
